Acetoacetanilides in Heterocyclic Synthesis,Part 1: An Expeditious Synthesis of Thienopyridines and Other Fused Derivatives

3-Oxo-N-{4-[(pyrimidin-2-ylamino)sulfonyl]phenyl}butanamide 1 reacts with arylidinecyanothioacetamide in refluxing ethanolic TEA to give the pyridinethione 2 rather than thiopyrane 4. Compound 2 reacts with α-haloketones to give the s-alkylated derivatives 7a–e. Compound 7a–e undergoes cyclization into thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives 8a–e. The saponification of 8a gives the amino acid 9, which affords 10 when refluxed in Ac₂O. The treatment of 10 with NH₄OAc/AcOH gives 11. Compound II is also obtained when 8e is refluxed in Ac₂O. The reaction of 8a with hydrazine hydrate gives 12 and with formamide gives 13. Compound 13 also is obtained from the reaction of 8e with triethylorthoformate. The acetylation of 8a with Ac₂O gives the amide derivative 14, which, on treatment with aromatic amines, affords 15a–c. Compounds 15a–c are cyclized with H₂SO₄ to 16a–c. Compound 16 is obtained also from the acetylation of compound 8c, d by Ac₂O. Reactions of compound 8e with CS₂ in refluxing dioxane afford 17. The diazotization and self-coupling of 8e give the pyridothienotriazine 18. Finally, the chloronation of compound 13 with POCl₃ affords the chloride derivative 19.

Evaluation of Neurotropic Activity and Molecular Docking Study of New Derivatives of pyrano[4″,3″:4′,5′]pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines on the Basis of pyrano[3,4-c]pyridines

Background: Heterocyclic compounds and their fused analogs, which contain pharmacophore fragments such as pyridine, thiophene and pyrimidine rings, are of great interest due to their broad spectrum of biological activity. Chemical compounds containing two or more pharmacophore groups due to additional interactions with active receptor centers usually enhance biological activity and can even lead to a new type of activity. The search for new effective neurotropic drugs in the series of derivatives of heterocycles containing pharmacophore groups in organic, bioorganic and medical chemistry is a serious problem. Methods: Modern methodology of drugs involves synthesis, physicochemical study, molecular modeling and selection of active compounds through virtual screening and experimental evaluation of the biological activity of new chimeric compounds with pharmacophore fragments. For the synthesis of new compounds, classical organic methods were used and developed. For the evaluation of neurotropic activity of new synthesized compounds, some biological methods were used according to indicators characterizing anticonvulsant, sedative and antianxiety activity as well as side effects. For docking analysis, various soft ware packages and methods were used. Results: As a result of multistep reactions, 11 new, tri- and tetracyclic heterocyclic systems were obtained. The studied compounds exhibit protection against pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) seizures as well as some psychotropic effects. The biological assays evidenced that nine of the eleven studied compounds showed a high anticonvulsant activity by antagonism with pentylenetetrazole. The toxicity of the compounds is low, and they do not induce muscle relaxation in the studied doses. According to the study of psychotropic activity, it was found that the selected compounds have an activating behavior and anxiolytic effects on the “open field” and “elevated plus maze” (EPM) models. The data obtained indicate the anxiolytic (antianxiety) activity of the derivatives of tricyclic thieno[2,3-b]pyridines and tetracyclic pyridothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8-ones, especially pronounced in compounds 3b–f and 4e. The studied compounds increase the latent time of first immobilization on the “forced swimming” (FS) model and exhibit antidepressant effects; compounds 3e and 3f especially exhibit these effects, similarly to diazepam. Docking studies revealed that compounds 3c and 4b bound tightly in the active site of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA_A) receptors with a value of the scoring function that estimates free energy of binding (∆G) at −10.0 ± 5 kcal/mol. Compound 4e showed the best affinity ((∆G) at −11.0 ± 0.54 kcal/mol) and seems to be an inhibitor of serotonin (SERT) transporter. Compounds 3c–f and 4e practically bound with the groove of T4L of 5HT_1A and blocked it completely, while the best affinity observed was in compound 3f ((∆G) at −9.3 ± 0.46 kcal/mol). Conclusions: The selected compounds have an anticonvulsant, activating behavior and anxiolytic effects and at the same time exhibit antidepressant effects.

Sulphur in the Strategy of Natural Products Synthesis

Abstract

Syntheses of secondary metabolites of α-and β-mercapto aminoacids are described. The strategy in the first class of compounds consists of using N-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivatives as intermediates and of converting them into α-functionalized, in particular thiol-substituted amino acids; as examples serve syntheses in the gliotoxin and sporidesmin series. In the second class of compounds the cycloaddition products of indole derivatives, having sulfide substituents, and nitroso olefins are transformed into indole alkaloids, in particular tryptathionins, by rearrangement and further reactions. The antitumor agent sparsomycin has been synthesized via an amino sultine and its stereospecific nucleophilic ring opening. Bioassays done with this compound and sixteen of its structural analogs gave insight in the structural features that are required for sparsomycin's antitumor activity.
